Patchwork Baby Name Quilts for Twins

One of our favourite customers has a tradition of giving a patchwork name quilt to the new babies in her life. This month she welcomed twin nieces with two lovely organic quilts.


The quilts feature complementary colour schemes in grey, pink, purple, and green with dashes of black and white. The results are stunning!



One of the many pleasures of putting together a custom quilt is going through the process of choosing colour schemes, fabrics, and threads with the customer. From beginning to end there are many choices to be offered and made. Here I'll show you the very last decision that was made—the binding.

For Juliette's green quilt, the binding choice was easy. It had to be the bright green!


But for Alice's purple quilt the perfect binding wasn't so obvious.

Becky offered our customer three choices, which we felt were all good options.

There was the soft grey...


The black and white floral print...



And the crisp grey print...



All the choices were good, but lent the quilt a slightly different flavour, if you will.

We had our favourite... which would you have chosen?



Our customer went for the wow-factor and picked our favourite... the elegant and striking Whispering Grass by Harmony Art Organic Design.


And it looks amazing! They both do.


Congratulations to the new family and the new auntie! We hope Alice and Juliette have very sweet dreams under their cozy quilts.
